school these fools man ....philly is a normal big city...not like nyc which rip the common person off with very high rent..$2800 -$3300 for a one bedroom or studio in midtown...philly you talking a $1000 or less that's why when I moved from philly to NYC everyone on my job were crying about their rent and living 3 and four in one apt. philly has strong culture NYC is a sloppy mess because a city can have far too many people and becomes confused of its identity. NYC today is basically a tourist and hipster yuppie town..old new York is gone
C- Philadelphia88 I'm thinking aesthetically. Decaying architecture, reminders of what was. The history, Abandoned houses etc. Obviously the ghetto isn't beautiful. The living conditions aren't ideal for anybody, trust me I'm in it everyday. My dumb ass tries to look beyond the surface sometimes, and my glass is always half full 😊👍✌.
Much respect to Chi town, Jersey, Philly, B.More, V.a, The whole south and west coast and all hoods between. No city better than the other we all just got our own thing! Sending respect all way from Brooklyn. Much Respect and Peace.
based on these photos Philly looks the worst, burnt up buildings, piles of trash. Then Chicago. NY most of the pictures just looked like older buildings still well maintained.
Did you visited the dirty Bronx...or the outerbouroughs or did you just stay in Manhattan where most tourist stay Chicago is a cleaner city than both...but Philly is a great city...it's a really cool city Philly has a lot of culture and character New York is not a normal city it's a mega city...new Yorkers talk a lot and what they mostly talk about is rent....all day long..rent rent rent...because they can't afford it...they need a roommate to help pay for the rent Philly people are the most loyal Chicago is a beautiful urban city New York is a city that you can't find an apartment guide ...you know the one ones you find in the grocery store...you know why?????
this guy aaron or whatever his user name is pics photos from the internet...look at all the clean ones on nyc....I lived in nyc ...nyc is freakin dirty....this guy who made thios video picked the worst ones on philly...plus he did not choose any from manhattan...he has most from the Brooklyn...Bronx...all clean pics though...this video is not accurate
Man, I was thinking Chicago would be tough to top, but Philly was definitely the scariest to me. I'm from Philly, too (maybe that's why it scared me the most). 1. Philly; 2. Chicago; 3. NY
This guy should do smaller cities like East St Louis IL, Gary IN, Youngstown OH, Niagara Falls NY, Bridgeport CT, and Camden NJ. Than you see ghettos and slums that make these areas in New York City, Chicago, and Philadelphia look almost like utopia.
New York finally is getting their act together. Once apon a time New York was hell on earth. The bronx was known as the bronx is burning and home of fort apache (corrupt police station). Harlem was where everyone in the country went to get their crack and heroine. And brooklyn made detroit look like Beverly Hills. The bronx till this day holds the record for the most arson ever committed in the world. But through all this crime we made hip hop,Harlem shake etc etc. the world looks down at ghettos but New York looked like wwII hit it but something came from that and that was art. New York has had a huge facelift compared to wat it was in the 70s and 80s. And the crime in New York in the 90s was terrible. But it has had a dramatic facelift. Probably the biggest ghetto facelift the world has ever seen
Not as bad as the murder capital DC from 1989 till 1996. Detroit back in the early to mid 90's and today has the worst Brooklyn hoods beat. And Miami in the early 80's had the highest murder rate ever seen in an American city above 200,000 people.
Interesting video.... Shows that every low income housing areas have the same capacity BUT very different. New York has high rising buildings (with fire escapes), Chicago housing is more suburban and has large land space and nature, and philly is more congested, with close connected houses that is similar like NEW York & Chicago, but smaller. Every time I travel I don't always hang out downtown, but enjoy I go to every neighborHOODS to see the real vibe and real people in that city. I live in Chicago Southside, I must say our low income home areas look more suburban. It look totally different than it did a decade ago since they tore down every the high rising projects especially Cabrini Green. I mean you would think a middle class family would live in these areas. But like these cities, all of them have GREAT places to hang out and live and this doesn't show the overally morale of the city. Had a pleasure to visit Philly on my birthday a year ago, looking forward to visit New York especially.
Terry E. Rucks Here's what I've noticed from looking at slum areas of Detroit or Chicago. It's either inner city or an urban area full of smaller buildings and it kind of looks like a low income place, or it's a neighborhood type of place, looks kinda like the suburbs area but poorer.
Philly by a long shot. However, I would venture to say that Newburgh, NY is the most aesthetically fucked up place in America. Cincinnati's inner city is pretty bad too. All these cities have a lot of housing stock from the early-mid 1800s that truly exhibits urban decay, as opposed to the kind of thing you see in a lot of midwest cities where so many houses just collapse and you have an urban prairie situation like in Detroit or St Louis (which are actually much more dangerous). For the best example of early-mid 1800s architecture in decay, see the center city of Colon, Panama.
Honestly I love all three of these states it doesn't matter if Philly is better then NYC or Chicago better than both it doesn't matter at all as long as u have a place to live in sure u say Philly is nasty or NYC is the best like I said it doesn't matter we all have some parts of it that are beautiful we have central Philadelphia is beautiful and I'm sure Chicago and NYC has beauty in it
I've lived in Chicago new York and of course Philly...one thing about Philly...the people are loyal to you...when they don't call it the city of brotherly love for nothing I guess people like Ben Franklin and those who came before him knew this centuries ago...Philly is better than NYC and Chicago in personality and people.
C- Philadelphia88 y'all Philadelphia sporting fans are the biggest piece of shits , that's why whenbyall come to NYC for sporting events y'all leave home driving down the new jersey turnpike all beat up cause y'all talk too much shit
looks wise philly the worst, but chicago on top when it comes to the violence. NYC used to be as crazy and ugly as both but thise times are long gone now
Been to all these three cities, especially NYC. Honestly, I think Chicago in my experience has been roughest ghetto out of these three. A lot of people on here say Philadelphia’s ghetto is worse than the other two, but my best guess is probably because one thing I noticed there is a lot of trash on the sidewalks and streets there.
I hate driving through these areas and seeing how beautiful the old stone homes are but know that nobody wants to live there because of the crime and that home will eventually be burnt or torn down.
+donte Yarberry I was just in Dallas, It's mostly a nice looking city. It looks kind of country and like the old west. There are some run down areas, but it's not nearly the worst I've seen.
New York looks scary with all the high rise buildings, Chicago too they got project buildings. But Philly has hoods like those little 2 story row homes, I don't think they look that bad. I seen the same row homes in the suburbs in Jersey.
0:47 into the video is the Bronx...I think I am pretty sure if it because I used to live in the Bronx..I'm from philly...don't let this video fool you about philly ..they showing just one neighborhood in north Philly.....new York city is fat more dirty than philly..New York has a stench smell on certain streets..for example 8th ave in NYC stuck so bad I can still remember the very scent in my mind collective....I am talking to a woman from Brooklyn and she once told that times square was so bad she use to run through it to get to the nearest subway station..I remember how awful times square use to look..it was an exhausting type if filth...morally and literally
I'm repping NYC and it looks like Philly has the most squalor among the three cities in this video. Ghettos look like huge, neglected, urban areas, almost like graveyards but it is still home to me. People can believe what they want, but you really can't speak it unless you lived it. I love the soundtrack. It captures the beauty within despite the condition.
South Bx NYC resident here, and Philly appears as the worst. Trust, I visit very often. But none can hold a candle to my home borough of the Bronx from back in the 60's, 70's, & eighties. Though now hardly recognizable, It was far far far worse than anything pictured here. Research it for yourself and Im sure you'll agree ....
New York right away has more ghettos then Chicago or Philly maybe even combined! The Ghettos are countless, and Projects buildings High rises look the worst. NYC got those towers project bulidings. 80 to 100 families living in each building. Streets are deep as hell in NYC long too, go on forever. Chicago got some similar buildings.I been threw Philly those 2 or 3 stories row homes don't look bad to me. Philly is a lot smaller then NYC or Chicago. No were close to the hoods or projects those to big cities have.
Well something needs to change you to say bum ass Baltimore looks like Philly Go to Philly hand bsee for yourself Why are people talking about bum ass Baltimore anyway Baltimore is a country ass city....ugly town
Im from philly and the place is dump. East side of S. Philly, Far North east, Chestnut hill, center. Thats it..thats all your good parts. 99% of North is bad, 99% of west is bad and 99% of South west is bad, South (west of broad) is bad. even the so called "Nice Areas" like Mt Airy are drug infested and have murders.
most the buildings in all three cities could be fixed up and look more better. but the people in those areas dont have enought money to make there neighborhoods look better.
+Michael Faucher It's not that so much as they just don't give a fuck. It's the residents' mindset. There are many poor areas where ppl still take pride in their surroundings, and it shows.
not looking back at the hood hell with East New York , Brownsville, Brooklyn the military took me out the hood and now I live in a 4,000 square foot house with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms two car garage with a big driveway no worries may visit the hood someday but no time soon
The view dont make a hood dangerous or safe, we kno that cuz look at LA, one area you got the glitzy ass hollywood area then you move a few blocks and you could easily die, we all have hoods in our states from NY jersey and philly to Missouri, lousiana and even nebraska (omaha was ranked one of the most dangerous places in the us) its not like all the Gs is in NYC Chicago or LA.
Omaha ranked one of the worst, based on what? Try driving south 3 hours and take a look around the run down parts of Kansas City, Ks-Mo. Then tell me your not freaking out! The whole state of West Virginia is suffering badly too.
in chicago the ghettos comes from the south side and eastside to north and west sides theirs ghettos all over.chicago city limits is so big that you have blocks going againest other blocks
You don't know what the fuck you are talking about because there is no east Chicago or eastside of Chicago....the east of Chicago you dumb ass would be in lake Michigan.... You are not from Chicago .....here is how chi town is laid out fool... The north side....the south side....the west side ...and downtown Chicago ...there is no east side....you are a liar
There is no east Chicago...lol..dumb fuck...there is the north side...south side..west side...Chicago is not land lock...the only thing east is lake Michigan.... You would be in the water
+C- Philadelphia88 like I said once I will say it again your an idiot there is a east of Chicago moron if you would actually see a map you would see that theirs words that says EAST SIDE OF CHICAGO DUMBASS
Chicago pics are a collective of North Englewood mainly. Most of those pics are some of Chicago's most vacant areas. West Side is still worse actually and denser just to compare. Chicago regardless is much more violent than New York and Philly combined and it's not even a question.
check out newburgh new York,Yonkers new York and mount Vernon new York all smaller gully towns most of the crime there don't get reported or seen you should do all hoods and small ghettos in new York,nyc aint the only hoods
New York does not look that bad. The South Bronx in the 1960s and 70s looked much worse than any of that. Chicago too I remember as worse than that in the 1970s.
70s 80s That was the Real Rotten Apple of NY. Everything was Burnt out in NY/The Bronx. They actually got my Block in this slide show. it don't look that Ghetto but at night they call it Elm street. my block is at 0:26. that hole block was burnt out back in the day but its clean now and its empty lots and boarded houses
daGod Emcee why do new Yorkers boast about being from there , it's full of project looking housing, most people who really make it there are not from nyc, on the other hand nyc is a mega city and should not be compared to Chicago or philly which are smaller
South side or west side in chicago? The video seems to be only the south side, but the west side is where the city really starts to look fucked up. A person from Detroit would not be able to tell difference probably.
AirMagg philly is nothing like Camden, phily has a big downtown and its clean,there are checker board blocks that are busted ,like in west philly or north, philly but philly overall is cleaner than Camden and philly has a lot of culture
New York is by far the worst city ever. So much trash, too many people, too congested, traffic is ridiculous, it really is a disgusting city. Philadelphia on the other hand is an up and coming city, and a lot nicer than NYC. Plus the food is way better in Philly than NYC.
Seeing all these gettos in the states i see one trend and that is the the majority are African Americans . Whats with that ? Has the government forgotten them because of where they live.
So very sad. Detroit and Baltimore are even worse. New Orleans, Atlanta and Memphis have areas like this. Meanwhile, in greater Boston, even in ghetto areas of cities like Chelsea, Salem and Lynn, you'd be hard-pressed to be able to find even ONE blighted property! And Roxbury in Boston? It's rapidly turning into another wealthy in-town neighborhood.
ok, here's a thought: why leave these existing buildings boarded up and vacant? Instead of tearing down projects and forcing families out and spending horrendous amounts of money building "mixed income" developments that public housing and low income will not be able to live in, why not spend some money to rehab these existing houses (if possible) and using the refurbed homes for those people being pushed out?
New York has more hoods than Philly or Chicago combined maybe. Its a lot bigger than both of those cities. Been threw Philly, those small 2 to 3 story row homes don't look bad to me at all, I seen the same buildings in the suburbs. The amount of ghettos are countless in NYC. The streets are long as hell, deep streets and go on forever. Those big tall tower project buildings with 80 to 100 families living in them are the worst looking. It could be like 30 buildings, and that looks crazy. Chicago has some similar buildings. In the 80's NYC, no city comes close to the amount of Decay and vacant buildings, even modern day Detroit is paradise compared to back then in NYC.
+Keith Torpey I live in philly, I love philly too, but NYC is most popular just cause more people hear about it at least as a good tourist destination, but anybody smart knows philly is the best outta all 3
I don't get it y'all think it 🆗 to live like slums like it 🆗 to look like we live in a third world country we look pitiful I'm from Chicago and I hear all the time that Chicago is the worst place to come and Donald trump said it himself that u can't walk out ur house without getting shot y'all need to fix out cities cause y'all think it cool to live poor and it not cool what we call home are being misrepresented in the media we need to show as blacks living in America
WestPhilly is the best as far as black neighborhoods,Wynnefield,Overbrook heights,wynnefield heights, overbrook park you won't see Chinese stores on every corner note will u see places to buy alcohol everywhere.West is also were most stars from Philly are from.Northphilly is just filled with drug dealers and junkies.
Should’ve did the worst hoods from the cities. I’m from Kensington. That’s Philly. Nun to be proud of. Got people OD’d is a common sight on the streets, lots of destroyed buildings. Kensington like the real purge
Im from philly. And philly is great . These pics aint shit lol. Ya’ll really put the worse pics of philly but good ones for chicago and new york even. Like wow. But whatever , philly has its pros . Allegheny and Kensington ayyy
Living in the backwoods and country is better than living in the city you have big partys shoot guns drive down the roads real fast ride dirtbikes and atvs grow some homegrown good stuff make some moonshine
Im from brooklyn real shit pops off out here but we got a lot of fuckin cops out here im talkin over 60,000 squad cars patrollin like every 5 or 10 mins. At least in the hoods like bushwick flatbush bronx etc
+Henrick Silencieux a lot of blacks like you talk all of this new York shit but most of you live in dirty ass projects NYC is a white boy town...Brooklyn is being taken over by white people..its a yuppie and hipster borough. .people like henrick silkencienx live in the bullshit part of Brooklyn...most average people in NYC can't afford to live alone so they always have a roommate ...or live in the projects...new York is a dirty city at least philly has areas that are clean and no one is complaining about rent..fuck new York..and fuck you henrick you bitch
+Rico De Silva in the video they are showing just north Philly... most of philly is clean but its just old...center city philly is clean ..south philly is cool...west philly is mostly clean...north philly is where it is dirty but not all of it...Brooklyn is a white boy yuppie hipster town ..in NYC the cops disrespect the blacks...being black in NYC has no effect because the cops steps all over them. .being black in philly and Chicago Means Something...new Yorkers talk a lot of shit but when I moved to new York I saw that the Puerto Ricans had more status than blacks.....NYC has the most projects than any city in America ..I read a statistic that there were more rats in new York than people...when I took the train there the rats ran along the train tracks the whole time I would wait for the train..I'm talking everyday and everyone from NYC knows this...how that's dirty
Y'all living bummy asf and think because your hood look like that it's more hard then the next come to LA our community looks nice but will murk a nigga in a heart beat maaaaan we the real G's #WESTSIDE
Thanks I just watched yours it was great. I get all the beats from youtube some of them I actually listen to the artist and the other ones I just choose cause I know the artist is from that particular city.
***** I lived in all 3 cities, nyc was the worst in terms of the city has 8 million ppl ,therefore ppl really try to avoid getting to know one another, the cops are horrible ,just looking to screw with you, philly is my city, ppl are friendly and there are a lot of artist, the culture there is much more realistic than nyc,/ Chicago I found was laid out very well, its architecture is much more modern and the housing is great...but it's the Midwest and downtown practically goes to sleep around 7 or 8 except for rush st and the mag mile...this video is not valid because you cant compare philly and chi with a mega city(nyc)
+LEX philly people are very tough...new York people just like to talk a lot and always like to ram that new York crap down your throat...new Yorkers always like to talk about that they are from new York...but when you visit them they live in a high rise project building when kanye west was about to get ribbed and shit by some new Yorkers as they were waiting for him to leave a restaurant... who came to his rescue??....a philly by the name of Benny segal the rapper Benny told him to eat his food and he got his back...that's philly for you and the new Yorkers backed off ..why?..because they knew that philly dude did not take no sh*t
+Jerry Barnes really ha-ha..and you call yourself a gangster..not by that same sex marriage video that's in your UA-cam history...lol busted .? ...you visit same sex videos than try to act gangster on this video..?nah you ain't from new York..you're a bitch..go back to that same sex marriage video you been on
In the 1970's, middle class residents abandoned the big cities because of racial tensions which could not be resolved politically. Middle class jobs and small businesses went with them. Nevertheless, major super rich companies remained in the downtown areas were many wealthy people continued to live and to support high-end culture such as museums, libraries, orchestras, historical centers, etc.. College and university areas also maintained an educated student population with their low-brow but intelligent kinds of activities. Meanwhile, the poor and uneducated began to sink lower and lower into dwindling opportunities, social chaos and finally drug dependence. Now, however, the trend in most cities is that young college graduates want to once-again work and live in walk-able densely populated urban areas--creating a process of re-growth towards middle class neighborhoods called gentrification. The gentrification movement is economically and racially integrated. Though tensions remain, it appears that both sides realize that they must learn to co-exist.
It's something beautiful about Philly ghettos the narrow streets the Rowhouses. Idk guess you gotta be from there #North 🙌🏾🙌🏾
+Ray Delacruz Then if you please, go out and gentrify some. :^)
school these fools man ....philly is a normal big city...not like nyc which rip the common person off with very high rent..$2800 -$3300 for a one bedroom or studio in midtown...philly you talking a $1000 or less
that's why when I moved from philly to NYC everyone on my job were crying about their rent and living 3 and four in one apt.

in Chicago there are not just boarded houses that are low income and some of the insides look pretty nice the area can just be a bad neighborhood
Guess they don't show Detroit 'cause they have to show every square inch of the city! Would take too long. LOL

New york is not that bad chicago is bad but philly is horrible
4:22 I used to go to that church as a kid. That was Rust United Methodist Church on 59th and carpenter in englewood.
Chicago’s neighborhoods have by far the most potential. Those houses and buildings are nice. If the natives might show some initiative?
I hate driving through these areas and seeing how beautiful the old stone homes are but know that nobody wants to live there because of the crime and that home will eventually be burnt or torn down.
I'm not sure what's worse. Philadelphia or Trenton. Yes, I know Trenton wasn't in this video, but both ghettos look almost identical.
Philly is doe Trenton can get nuts
Trenton is the suburbs compared to philly
when the last time u was in Trenton lol Trenton really bad not as bad as Kensington in philly but stoll really bad
mikethrift45 I was never in the philidelphia suburbs, but it looks just like Trenton from what I can see on this video.
Kevin Patrick Camden ghettos resembles Philly ghettos more than Trenton, only certain areas of Trenton resemble Philly
Should of done Chicago vs New York vs Philadelphia vs Detroit
Detroit’s on a whole different level, it can’t be compared with cities like NY, Philly and Chicago
I think Baltimore should’ve been included in my experience, it seems more run-down and violent….
All I gotta say is visit south dallas.. dang near all of south dallas is boarded up..
+donte Yarberry I was just in Dallas, It's mostly a nice looking city. It looks kind of country and like the old west. There are some run down areas, but it's not nearly the worst I've seen.
I don’t think south Dallas is as bad as you mentioned it. Heck the worst parts of Houston don’t look as bad as the ghettos of Chicago and Philly.
New York looks scary with all the high rise buildings, Chicago too they got project buildings.
But Philly has hoods like those little 2 story row homes, I don't think they look that bad. I seen the same row homes in the suburbs in Jersey.
ANYONE KNOW WHERE 0:47 IS SPECIFICALLY? THAT HILL LOOKS CRAZY WOULD LIKE TO CHECK THAT OUT ON GOOGLE MAPS MYSELF!!!! PEACE FROM L.A.!
0:47 into the video is the Bronx...I think I am pretty sure if it because I used to live in the Bronx..I'm from philly...don't let this video fool you about philly ..they showing just one neighborhood in north Philly.....new York city is fat more dirty than philly..New York has a stench smell on certain streets..for example 8th ave in NYC stuck so bad I can still remember the very scent in my mind collective....I am talking to a woman from Brooklyn and she once told that times square was so bad she use to run through it to get to the nearest subway station..I remember how awful times square use to look..it was an exhausting type if filth...morally and literally
I'm repping NYC and it looks like Philly has the most squalor among the three cities in this video. Ghettos look like huge, neglected, urban areas, almost like graveyards but it is still home to me. People can believe what they want, but you really can't speak it unless you lived it. I love the soundtrack. It captures the beauty within despite the condition.
South Bx NYC resident here, and Philly appears as the worst. Trust, I visit very often. But none can hold a candle to my home borough of the Bronx from back in the 60's, 70's, & eighties. Though now hardly recognizable, It was far far far worse than anything pictured here. Research it for yourself and Im sure you'll agree ....
I been on every part they showed from philly #215
New York right away has more ghettos then Chicago or Philly maybe even combined! The Ghettos are countless, and Projects buildings High rises look the worst. NYC got those towers project bulidings. 80 to 100 families living in each building. Streets are deep as hell in NYC long too, go on forever. Chicago got some similar buildings.I been threw Philly those 2 or 3 stories row homes don't look bad to me. Philly is a lot smaller then NYC or Chicago. No were close to the hoods or projects those to big cities have.
philly look like bmor
Philly looks nothing like more or ghetto ass Baltimore....this video don't represent Philly...Philly is way bigger than Baltimore...Baltimore sucks
C- Philadelphia88
ok
C- Philadelphia88
ok thanks for the info it really changed my life
Well something needs to change you to say bum ass Baltimore looks like Philly
Go to Philly hand bsee for yourself
Why are people talking about bum ass Baltimore anyway
Baltimore is a country ass city....ugly town
Im from philly and the place is dump. East side of S. Philly, Far North east, Chestnut hill, center. Thats it..thats all your good parts. 99% of North is bad, 99% of west is bad and 99% of South west is bad, South (west of broad) is bad. even the so called "Nice Areas" like Mt Airy are drug infested and have murders.
How do you zoom in and out of these pics ?
You can really see the poverty and urban decay here in philly. I grew up on these blocks.....
Especially in Kensington, man that's one of the most fucked up places that I have ever seen with all of the dope fiends under the El train.
Chicago is probably the deadliest now...but back in the days ny takes it all.ny doesn’t get respect like they used to in the 80s and early 90s
@Nice One Exactly smh
most the buildings in all three cities could be fixed up and look more better. but the people in those areas dont have enought money to make there neighborhoods look better.
+Michael Faucher It's not that so much as they just don't give a fuck. It's the residents' mindset. There are many poor areas where ppl still take pride in their surroundings, and it shows.
Philly look the the most ghetto out of the 3 videos and that’s my city and I ain’t notice how much hood my city look then others 🤦🏻♂️
Fr and Philly hardest city
Chicago more violent asf they ur city goofy
not looking back at the hood hell with East New York , Brownsville, Brooklyn the military took me out the hood and now I live in a 4,000 square foot house with 6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms two car garage with a big driveway no worries may visit the hood someday but no time soon
Terrence Banton sell out
I noticed that 1:18 and 1:26 had the same picture...
?Who did the beats??...nice..
Philly ghettos looked the absolute worse! Like they don't renovate NOTHIN!
The view dont make a hood dangerous or safe, we kno that cuz look at LA, one area you got the glitzy ass hollywood area then you move a few blocks and you could easily die, we all have hoods in our states from NY jersey and philly to Missouri, lousiana and even nebraska (omaha was ranked one of the most dangerous places in the us) its not like all the Gs is in NYC Chicago or LA.
Omaha ranked one of the worst, based on what? Try driving south 3 hours and take a look around the run down parts of Kansas City, Ks-Mo. Then tell me your not freaking out! The whole state of West Virginia is suffering badly too.
in chicago the ghettos comes from the south side and eastside to north and west sides theirs ghettos all over.chicago city limits is so big that you have blocks going againest other blocks
You don't know what the fuck you are talking about because there is no east Chicago or eastside of Chicago....the east of Chicago you dumb ass would be in lake Michigan.... You are not from Chicago
.....here is how chi town is laid out fool...
The north side....the south side....the west side ...and downtown Chicago
...there is no east side....you are a liar
There is no east Chicago...lol..dumb fuck...there is the north side...south side..west side...Chicago is not land lock...the only thing east is lake Michigan.... You would be in the water
You are not from Chicago bitch...there is no east side in chicago
+C- Philadelphia88 like I said once I will say it again your an idiot there is a east of Chicago moron if you would actually see a map you would see that theirs words that says EAST SIDE OF CHICAGO DUMBASS
east side??? you mean nwi because thats a different state there is no east side of chicago
My God! These places look depressing and scary. They make our lil Orlando ghetto look like Disney Land.
track playing iz hot!! who is it??
Chicago pics are a collective of North Englewood mainly. Most of those pics are some of Chicago's most vacant areas. West Side is still worse actually and denser just to compare. Chicago regardless is much more violent than New York and Philly combined and it's not even a question.
I fuck with Philly tho
check out newburgh new York,Yonkers new York and mount Vernon new York all smaller gully towns most of the crime there don't get reported or seen you should do all hoods and small ghettos in new York,nyc aint the only hoods
New York does not look that bad. The South Bronx in the 1960s and 70s looked much worse than any of that. Chicago too I remember as worse than that in the 1970s.
70s 80s That was the Real Rotten Apple of NY. Everything was Burnt out in NY/The Bronx. They actually got my Block in this slide show. it don't look that Ghetto but at night they call it Elm street. my block is at 0:26. that hole block was burnt out back in the day but its clean now and its empty lots and boarded houses
daGod Emcee why do new Yorkers boast about being from there , it's full of project looking housing, most people who really make it there are not from nyc, on the other hand nyc is a mega city and should not be compared to Chicago or philly which are smaller
South side or west side in chicago? The video seems to be only the south side, but the west side is where the city really starts to look fucked up. A person from Detroit would not be able to tell difference probably.
Kkr Main
Google Street reveals a Chicago that definitely looks better than Detroit. 40 years ago, the west side was terrible.
LEX shit talk..Philly's gutter. not a small town neither.
you should do detroit vs oakland vs pittsburgh
Detorit v Cambden v East St. Louis
Man Camden is the same thing is philly
AirMagg
Camden is worse than Philly.
AirMagg philly is nothing like Camden, phily has a big downtown and its clean,there are checker board blocks that are busted ,like in west philly or north, philly but philly overall is cleaner than Camden and philly has a lot of culture
james west Thats because Camden is a small city. I'm talking about just slang and shit
New York is by far the worst city ever. So much trash, too many people, too congested, traffic is ridiculous, it really is a disgusting city. Philadelphia on the other hand is an up and coming city, and a lot nicer than NYC. Plus the food is way better in Philly than NYC.
I'm from PHILLY and most of the city does not look like this.
chicago looks like hartford ct
Kevin Ortiz philly looks like bridgeport ct
Philly is still the best city ever
Seeing all these gettos in the states i see one trend and that is the the majority are African Americans . Whats with that ? Has the government forgotten them because of where they live.
So very sad. Detroit and Baltimore are even worse. New Orleans, Atlanta and Memphis have areas like this. Meanwhile, in greater Boston, even in ghetto areas of cities like Chelsea, Salem and Lynn, you'd be hard-pressed to be able to find even ONE blighted property! And Roxbury in Boston? It's rapidly turning into another wealthy in-town neighborhood.
I'm from Atlanta but live in Memphis bruh I swear Memphis is like a upgraded atlanta
I've lived in Atlanta it's nothing compared to these hoods especially philly is pretty bad
+Mia Maya thank you
+Mia Maya thank you
If there anything worse in nyc projects is brownsville i don't think the projects in philly are that bad
ok, here's a thought: why leave these existing buildings boarded up and vacant? Instead of tearing down projects and forcing families out and spending horrendous amounts of money building "mixed income" developments that public housing and low income will not be able to live in, why not spend some money to rehab these existing houses (if possible) and using the refurbed homes for those people being pushed out?
Chicago had Al Capone and El Chapo
I want to see Compton Vs Englewood
Liquid Metal Stupid kid go to sleep...
so, all big cities in US have their own 'ghost towns' into them...not only detroit...
nuttin early 90's
Chicago has a lot of surburban looking areas that are dangerous
Yo! These are the nice hoods of Philadelphia.
Chicago in the muthafucking building
One common denominator. We all know what it is.....
Lol they threw south road in there 1:19 southside jamaica queens rise up
New York has more hoods than Philly or Chicago combined maybe. Its a lot bigger than both of those cities. Been threw Philly, those small 2 to 3 story row homes don't look bad to me at all, I seen the same buildings in the suburbs. The amount of ghettos are countless in NYC. The streets are long as hell, deep streets and go on forever. Those big tall tower project buildings with 80 to 100 families living in them are the worst looking. It could be like 30 buildings, and that looks crazy. Chicago has some similar buildings. In the 80's NYC, no city comes close to the amount of Decay and vacant buildings, even modern day Detroit is paradise compared to back then in NYC.
Check out Newburgh and Poughkeepsie New York
I'm from Chicago
Give this video 2 more comments n it'll have 679 comments.
Plus I love the ghettos. They would all look stunning at night.

Ya soft compared to NYC in 1990
Chicago is the best of all three. 😊 the most popular city.!!!😘
+maria gonzales ....most popular of these three? nah. that's NYC.
That's the dumbest thing I ever heard, Philadelphia is the most popular. It was capital of the United states once , read a fucking book
+Keith Torpey still the MOST POPULAR is NYC
no way ,Philadelphia has way more history so its more famous
+Keith Torpey I live in philly, I love philly too, but NYC is most popular just cause more people hear about it at least as a good tourist destination, but anybody smart knows philly is the best outta all 3
Plus looking over the Philadelphia ghetto photos, most of them are from Camden and not proper "Philly"
my girlfriend n baby left out the second we could
I don't get it y'all think it 🆗 to live like slums like it 🆗 to look like we live in a third world country we look pitiful I'm from Chicago and I hear all the time that Chicago is the worst place to come and Donald trump said it himself that u can't walk out ur house without getting shot y'all need to fix out cities cause y'all think it cool to live poor and it not cool what we call home are being misrepresented in the media we need to show as blacks living in America
Born & Rised & Chicago

WestPhilly is the best as far as black neighborhoods,Wynnefield,Overbrook heights,wynnefield heights, overbrook park you won't see Chinese stores on every corner note will u see places to buy alcohol everywhere.West is also were most stars from Philly are from.Northphilly is just filled with drug dealers and junkies.
Nizz Frankford be drawn they nasty is shit up dere

Im from philly. And philly is great . These pics aint shit lol. Ya’ll really put the worse pics of philly but good ones for chicago and new york even. Like wow. But whatever , philly has its pros . Allegheny and Kensington ayyy
Philly isn't that bad
The biggest one isn't even here, but, based on facts, Detroit is first, then New York, then Philly, then Chicago.
Detriot makes these places look like a resort.
Look up Kensington in Philadelphia that place will give Detroit a run for it's money
@@donnelladams8362Facts
Look up on Nicetown, Badlandz, and Cecil B, North Philly looks like a 3rd world country
Living in the backwoods and country is better than living in the city you have big partys shoot guns drive down the roads real fast ride dirtbikes and atvs grow some homegrown good stuff make some moonshine
Im from brooklyn real shit pops off out here but we got a lot of fuckin cops out here im talkin over 60,000 squad cars patrollin like every 5 or 10 mins. At least in the hoods like bushwick flatbush bronx etc
60,000 cops* and alot of squad cars
fuck Brooklyn... new Yorkers love to talk about that dump
+c washington (westphillyguy) fuck you bitch brooklyn the best borough nigga
+Henrick Silencieux a lot of blacks like you talk all of this new York shit but most of you live in dirty ass projects
NYC is a white boy town...Brooklyn is being taken over by white people..its a yuppie and hipster borough. .people like henrick silkencienx live in the bullshit part of Brooklyn...most average people in NYC can't afford to live alone so they always have a roommate ...or live in the projects...new York is a dirty city
at least philly has areas that are clean and no one is complaining about rent..fuck new York..and fuck you henrick you bitch
+Rico De Silva in the video they are showing just north Philly... most of philly is clean but its just old...center city philly is clean ..south philly is cool...west philly is mostly clean...north philly is where it is dirty but not all of it...Brooklyn is a white boy yuppie hipster town ..in NYC the cops disrespect the blacks...being black in NYC has no effect because the cops steps all over them. .being black in philly and Chicago Means Something...new Yorkers talk a lot of shit but when I moved to new York I saw that the Puerto Ricans had more status than blacks.....NYC has the most projects than any city in America ..I read a statistic that there were more rats in new York than people...when I took the train there the rats ran along the train tracks the whole time I would wait for the train..I'm talking everyday and everyone from NYC knows this...how that's dirty
Y'all living bummy asf and think because your hood look like that it's more hard then the next come to LA our community looks nice but will murk a nigga in a heart beat maaaaan we the real G's #WESTSIDE
you should be proud
Christopher Bibiano sit yo lame ass dwn im frm la la lame
Christopher Bibiano same here in Philly a nigga would get murked as well
chi w you sound nutty as shit real rap
chi w o ard and I could careless about LA frfr but but like I said ard at least u cleared it up
Amazing, check out my new video, where do you get they beats from?
Thanks I just watched yours it was great. I get all the beats from youtube some of them I actually listen to the artist and the other ones I just choose cause I know the artist is from that particular city.
***** I lived in all 3 cities, nyc was the worst in terms of the city has 8 million ppl ,therefore ppl really try to avoid getting to know one another, the cops are horrible ,just looking to screw with you, philly is my city, ppl are friendly and there are a lot of artist, the culture there is much more realistic than nyc,/ Chicago I found was laid out very well, its architecture is much more modern and the housing is great...but it's the Midwest and downtown practically goes to sleep around 7 or 8 except for rush st and the mag mile...this video is not valid because you cant compare philly and chi with a mega city(nyc)
LEX fuck outta here..I ain't come up around shit that was nice.
+LEX philly people are very tough...new York people just like to talk a lot and always like to ram that new York crap down your throat...new Yorkers always like to talk about that they are from new York...but when you visit them they live in a high rise project building
when kanye west was about to get ribbed and shit by some new Yorkers as they were waiting for him to leave a restaurant... who came to his rescue??....a philly by the name of Benny segal the rapper
Benny told him to eat his food and he got his back...that's philly for you and the new Yorkers backed off ..why?..because they knew that philly dude did not take no sh*t
+Jerry Barnes really
ha-ha..and you call yourself a gangster..not by that same sex marriage video that's in your UA-cam history...lol
busted .? ...you visit same sex videos than try to act gangster on this video..?nah you ain't from new York..you're a bitch..go back to that same sex marriage video you been on

I AM NOT AMERICAN ... but can someone tell me why these cities are populated African American people ... thanks
In the 1970's, middle class residents abandoned the big cities because of racial tensions which could not be resolved politically. Middle class jobs and small businesses went with them. Nevertheless, major super rich companies remained in the downtown areas were many wealthy people continued to live and to support high-end culture such as museums, libraries, orchestras, historical centers, etc.. College and university areas also maintained an educated student population with their low-brow but intelligent kinds of activities. Meanwhile, the poor and uneducated began to sink lower and lower into dwindling opportunities, social chaos and finally drug dependence. Now, however, the trend in most cities is that young college graduates want to once-again work and live in walk-able densely populated urban areas--creating a process of re-growth towards middle class neighborhoods called gentrification. The gentrification movement is economically and racially integrated. Though tensions remain, it appears that both sides realize that they must learn to co-exist.
New York looks the scariest, abandoned buildings look way more scarier than an abandoned house...
